They were facing Spurs and didn't want a repeat humiliation tbh. Hope they play their actual second string this time.

Stuck with him but he hasn't been awarded the assist for Nolan's goal

Just me who wants a full strength side out there, then?

Big credit to Hughton for today. Wonder if he said anything about playing the offside trap too often at HT, not that we'd tell since we had the ball for most of the second period.

Yup. Can't wait

Awkward silence.

FF's MOTM, in order: 1. Tiote 2. Nolan 3. Ameobi

A couple of the high balls he claimed, there is no way in the world he would have come for them in August, he's learning.

Ameobi & Carroll starting up front together is crucial.

Quality!

Shola brace

Very few chances being created. [i know, look who's talking ]

Hutton's done well today.

Great free-kick, but lucky to be in front. Ref hasn't given anything to Spurs this game, Neville has free reign to hack and push Crouch so far.

In 2099 the answer will still be Uriah Rennie and Steve Bennett. [Atkinson for the reasons eloquently stated by CaliMag].

He really wanted to laugh at the end, you could see it.

Cudicini made 1 save the whole game. You also scored from your only shots.

"Etu"!

Now if only Ferguson could figure a way to prove to the world that Rooney was wrong about Man Utd being unambitious?

Hope people remember he didn't outpace Maicon down the left!

Barca's second = profit.

To be fair, he said he "couldn't think" of a better left-sided player in the world. I think he was just confessing he's not a football expert.

Too true.

wow you should be really ashamed tbh. Agree with that. Dare I suggest you not take such a flippant comment quuuuuite so seriously?

Probably aye
